adieu
hopeless
traces of ink
blotted melancholy
requiem on a crumpled page
ghosted

A Cinquain for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge – Synonyms Only for the prompt words: sad (hopeless, melancholy) and write (trace, ink, blot, ghost).
Mount Mayon rages
billowing ash, eclipsed, the
cerulean vault,
molten bowels oozing, etching
her passionate apologue
black obsidian
destruction’s cool residue
fire and ice collide

like mercury colliding...
